First Grade

This huge bouquet of flowers doesn’t allow me to show off my beautiful young face to every teacher in this school. My two big white bows are the most noticeable in a crowd. Even this annoying little girl with big blue eyes doesn’t have the same wonderful bows as mine. The only thing I have to do is to give this massive bouquet to my first teacher and, finally, I can start my path to succed in the school.
It’s been a few weeks after my first day at school, and today is the picture day. This is the worst day of my short life! I lost two of my front teeth this morning. I can’t be in the picture! Not like that! Oh, God. I just wanted to be the most popular girl at school, and now – it’s impossible. I’m sure that now, a central place on the photo will be given to this little blue-eyed monster.

Second Grade

Today I had my first fight. It wasn’t my fault! This irritating blondie (her name’s Alina, but for me – it doesn’t matter), found three girlfriends and they were laughing at me. Of course I couldn’t ignore them, and now we’re standing near the blackboard and waiting for our parents. I hoped that our teacher will spare us and we would escape with just repeating of her stupid rules of behavior in society.
Looks like it’s my lucky day. My mother won’t find out about this fight. 5 minutes of repeating this rule – and I can go home. “Treat people as you want people to treat you”. Oh, if it was only that easy…

 Third Grade

“What were you thinking when you did it?” Our school principal asked us for the third time. My friend and I were in her office for the first time. And, I hoped, the last. Do you want to know what happened? I accidently hit a boy in the head. Well, technically it wasn’t me, but I’m still a big part of this incident.
“Nadya is a good girl, she will never do something like that again. I’m sure, it was an accident” his mom said. It’s so cool to be the best student in the class. Everyone believes that I can’t do anything bad. They are so naive…

Fourth Grade

Our fourth year comes to an end which means that we will be having a prom! I’m so excited. It’s a good opportunity to show my classmates that I’m not only really smart but also very pretty. I hope that Alina and I won’t be wearing same dresses, because that would be horrible. Since she has become the biggest star of the Glee Club, she started acting as a mean girl. Alina thinks she is the Queen, but trust me, this is only in her opinion. Yes, she is “dating” the coolest guy in our class, but it doesn’t prove anything. She is very pretty. But don’t tell her I said that.
There she is. Of course she is wearing a pink dress.  Oh, no. She is coming towards me. I am not talking to her. No way.
“Hi, Nadya. I like your dress” she said.
“Thanks. It’s much better than yours” I thought, but I said “Thank you, I like yours too. Beautiful color”. My first big lie. On the other hand, it wasn’t a total lie: dress is actually really cool, but I would never tell this to her.

Fifth Grade

There he is: blond hair, blue eyes and a friendly smile. Oleg – Alina’s best friend. This is not fair. He is a friend of my enemy. Well, it looks like I have to become friends with her.
Sixth Grade
Finally! The World has recognized my greatness. This is my first national level literature competition. I have to win! I’m a finalist, which means that a lot of people love my work.

Seventh Grade

  There is a new girl in our class. She is very nice. I think we can become good friends and not only with her – Alina and her small group of annoying girls also thinks that Natasha (a new girl) is very nice. Maybe it’s a good idea to be in one big girls’ group.
Right now Alina doesn’t look to me as irritating as before. She still thinks that she is the Queen of the class, but now it’s more real: every guy in the class wants her to be his girlfriend. Or maybe I like her more because she stopped being a star of the Glee Club. It happened because there is no Glee Club in the school anymore, but whatever.

Eighth Grade

Right now I’m sitting with Alina’s girlfriends, they are talking about her. I feel very uncomfortable, because it’s not right to gossip about someone. I think it will be a right thing to tell everything to Alina and leave these mean girls for good.
Like I thought, Alina was really disappointed in her friends. And it feels like we became closer after this incident. She doesn’t look that annoying to me anymore.

Ninth Grade

This school year started with Alina and I becoming best friends. We proved to not only be beautiful girls but we also became a part of the team for the military competition. It’s very cool when your team supports you. This is an amazing feeling when you know every part of Kalashnikov rifle, when you shoot straight on target, when you are one of the best in military training in the district.
Also this year we have another prom. It won’t be like one we had a few years back, at least because this time Alina and I chose our dresses together. It was fun. One of my favorite memories.
 
Tenth Grade

  Do you know which school subject is the most frequently found on the schedule? Physics! At least in my school. Oh God, I hate it! And not because I’m not the smartest in that subject, but because I have physics no less than once a day!
Today is the worst Monday in my life! I have 5 classes of physics! Can you imagine that? Oh, I swear, if I don’t become a president or ambassador of Russian Federation I will become a nuclear physicist.

Eleventh Grade

This is my last year in this school. I’m so happy! My classmates are all crazy! For example, yesterday Kostya threw a desk through the window! But it’s not as bad as getting caught and that happened pretty fast. So stupid…
There is also a fun side of my class. We all seriously prepare for our last prom this time. I can’t wait any longer!
Today every teacher at school said that I’m the best student in my class, in my High School, and even in the last few years. I have my best friend, a loving family, a gold medal for graduating with straight A’s and the respect from the whole school. 
I finally accomplished my way to success in this school. Next peak – is an adult life.
